Thanks! The .m4a file is encoded using "normal" UTF-8 accented characters. The encoding in the .flac file uses "combining caron" and "combining acute accent" UTF-8 characters to form the accented characters. How were the tags in the .flac file created?

My FLAC tags are initially created with the ripping software XLD. I've tried re-tagging with Yate but the result seems the same. I've also tried the metaflac command-line tool to create the COMPOSER tag, with the same result. Maybe the problem has its origins in the distributed FLAC libraries?
